    TR2/3/3A TR3A Electrical Quirks, Flasher, Wipers and Fuel Guage

    Using the brakes kills the engine! Any ideas why?

    Well, this is a new one for me. After spending a little time freshening up Nigel for the fall, I go on the inaugural trip. Every time I touch the brakes, the engine dies. So much for that idea; back home I go. It's puzzling. Starts right up again every time, but every time the brake lights come...
